Gah! Crocked.

[BingBong]

Some time back I mentioned my palate being a bit off and maybe I needed a break. Well, I persisted and it kind of improved then began to go off again. The last three weeks, not nice but appetite in general also gone.

I've been running fevers at night, but I have twice-weekly checkups, all good. BP, blood O², temperature, all fine. I haven't felt "ill", just a bit off until the weekend, when I thought I might need some intervention. Then a couple of senior nurses came round and said "go directly to hospital". Boring, but hey.

As usual, regular stuff all in range, pulse a bit high, nothing obvious. Bloods, a couple of minor indicators... until the CRP (inflammation) results. Normal is 3, 10 is uh-oh, my count 355. So happy days and IV antibiotics out the wazoo.

Hopefully, my rehab into the joys of the pipe can start again in 2 or 3 weeks or so.

I'm so sorry, my friend BingBong. I wish you a speedy recovery.

 

[JoburgB2]

Sorry to read that. Hoping for your speedy recovery. Best wishes.

I hope you get well soon!

What do all these doctors think about your pipe? I'm surprised they'll even treat someone with such a barbarous habit.

I had the stop smoking princess round this morning, but I extolled the many virtues and flavours of pipe tobacco blends to her. In the end, she sneakily pulled out a gadget to measure the CO in my breath. I scored 1 - nonsmokers can trigger 6 or so. Victory was mine!

Cause?
Lay off smoking until well after you are better.

 

[LotusEater]

That’s scary. Take care of yourself and I hope you have a quick and full recovery.

Long term pressure ulcer, abcess, blood poisoning... the medics should have been right on it ages ago, when the serious people turned up, they wanted a court of inquiry. How could this happen?

I'll take it easy when I'm through with this, promise. For a while.

Meds and sinus infections caused me to be in the same boat.
Hope it gets better and all is well!

Man, what a crappy situation! I’m sorry to hear you’re having this trouble; I’ll be keeping you in my prayers, and I hope your recovery is swift.

 

[karam]

Wish you a speedy recovery!

 

[Richmond B. Funkenhouser]

Get well soon, buddy.

If you get too bored just smoke in there anyway. They won't throw you out.

That's Not Good!
Do what you must to get better & back to the Pipe!

In the UK, do you see an MD as your primary healthcare provider?

 

[OzPiper]

So sorry to hear.
Get well soon, so you can get back to your bowls of Cabbie’s Mixture

 

[VDL_Piper]

Not good BB but on a lighter note your Cabbies Mix got to age a little before you smoke it. Take it easy though, health is everything.

 

[smudgersmissingleg]

Hope you feel better soon, mate.
